Azure multiple VM connect to the same HD?

I need to share the same hard disk with multiple Cloud-Services/VM, does it possible ?

If it possible how can I do it ?

I know that I can use storage like Blob Storage or SQL to store data but I'm using a local software on each service that only accepts local paths to import data (to it).

No it is not possible in general.

However you can mount the VHD and then create a UNC path to it, and that file path can be shared. However, at this point, it is more useful to just use Azure File Services (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx).

I'm not sure if you can share the exact same HD, but Azure File Service may be helpful.

Here's a link for more details And a Stack Overflow post that may be helpful.
